	Who knows Pat, maybe the police are looking at CCTV to check. It is possible of course.

	1) Who bought them the tickets???????? Don't people have to be over 18 to buy an airline ticket. 2) Who got them the Visas,,, Surely you can't get them on the plane like for the USA. 3) Surely the parents must have had suspicions when they said they were going to school,,,,WHAT with massive bags like they all had... Wasn't it half term in London.?? All questions that need answering by all the parents on statements to the police in the police station under caution.

	Rose they look at the passport but how stringently I don't know regarding age. Not looking 15/16 I don't suppose they check my age too closely Just the photo. :-D :-D

	But surely they check the age on a passport? or perhaps they don't, it's so long since I flew...the last time was to LA and the US passport check was pretty stringent, but I can't remember what the procedure was like this end.

	Apparently, according to the paper, children that look too young to travel alone are supposed to be checked. Turkish Airlines didn't check them.

	I thought you had to be 16 for an adult passport?
Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 23,596 Send Message	JoyBoroAngel	Report	21 Feb 2015 16:25
	I thought that a child now has to be accompanied by an adult :-D :-D

	well i too thought where are their parents Underage children I thought had to have some parental consent to buy a ticket. Maybe not tho if anyone can buy and pay for a ticket and the person travelling has a valid passport. Makes you think this is another loophole

	Two of them are 15, under age for pretty much everything in this country...why are they allowed to go through airport controls without ( seemingly) any proof of parental consent? Wouldn't you think that children travelling without an adult would at very least have to be carrying a consent letter? :-S
